Thanks KG8,

I found those screws eventually, but looks like i'll need to adjust again - I used a reference point that was only 20m away, had it adjusted 1st go - thought it was too easy. Last night, had the polar alignment done in within 15 mins & failed the 3 star alignment every time, got a 2 star alignment, but when slewing to Jupiter it was no where to be seen in the EP...didn't expect it to be that far off? Jupiter remains in the centre of the eyepiece for a long time with very minimal drift using the 6mm EP - re-checked the polar alignment & the asterism appeared in the rectical...Will try to find a target further away to setup the rectical( too many trees swaying in the breeze though... thanks for the image as I forgot where the screws where
I will SUCCEED!!! If it kills my neck & I'm covered in dew from head to toe.
